The supplement L-Carnitine, a vitamin-like substance, is discussed in the current edition of PCOS Review.
Editor Bill Slater outlines the many reasons why L-Carnitine supports various important body functions such as burning fat for energy. Additionally, it may “stimulate hair shaft elongation” and reduce the death of hair cells as well as decrease the risk for cardiovascular health issues.
Interestingly, women with PCOS appear to be deficient in carnitine.

L-Carnitine is used in the Insulite PCOS System to increase insulin sensitivity which is key to reversing insulin resistance, considered to be the main underlying cause of PCOS. The formulas of the Insulite PCOS System also include vital nutrients such as saw palmetto, vitex, flax seed, vanadium and chromium among others.

The lastest editon of PCOS Review discusses a second study that shows a positive link between spearmint tea and hirsuitsm (excess hair) in women with PCOS.
Of 42 women with PCOS who were studied at the UK’s Eastbourne District General Hospital – one group had spearmint tea 2x a day and the others a placebo – the group taking tea showed a reduction in testosterone.
The same women reported a reduction in hirsutism, although no change was found in an objective measure of hair.
Regardless, spearmint tea has shown to be beneficial in women with testosterone issues. We join PCOS Review in calling for further research.
